Configure VLAN MAC Addresses and LAN Advanced Settings
By default, all configured VLAN profiles share the same single MAC address as the LAN
ports. (All LAN ports share the same MAC address.) However, you can change the VLAN
MAC settings to allow up to 16 VLANs to each be assigned a unique MAC address.
If you attempt to configure more than 16 VLANs while the MAC address for VLANs is set to
Uniqu
e on the LAN Advanced screen, the MAC addresses that are assigned to each VLAN
might no longer be distinct.
You can also enable or disable the broadcast of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) p
ackets
for the default VLAN. If the broadcast of ARP packets is enabled, IP addresses can be
mapped to physical addresses (that is, MAC addresses).
To configure a VLAN to use a unique MAC address:
1. Log in to the unit:
a. In the address field of any of the qualified web browsers, enter
https://192.168.1.1.
The NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen displays.
b. In the User
name field, enter admin and in the Password / Passcode field, enter
password.
Use lowercase letters. If you changed the password, enter your persona
lized
password. Leave the domain as it is (geardomain).
c. Click
the L
ogin button.
The Router Status screen displays. After five minutes of inactivity,
which is the default
login time-out, you are automatically logged out.
2. Select Network Confi
guration > LAN Setup.
In the upper right of the screen, the IPv4 radio bu
tton is selected by default. The LAN
submenu tabs display, with the LAN Setup screen in view, displaying the IPv4 settings.
